perfect from now on

the darkest days have come and gone

still you shine for me

with a fragile frame i carry on

'cause with you i am free

you guard my teflon heart

'cause then they take you apart

deconstructing the pieces

still lobbing the darts

while you're clogging the bleeding

and now you're starting to sway

and they won't go away

until you swear you're perfecting the art

of being perfect from now on

perfect from now on

i learn the stance to win the fight

to balance what i do

i cling to you with all my might

you take the punches too

the round's about to start

and then they take you apart
